The pleasure of driving.It's what makes a Subaru, a Subaru.

The movement began in Japan more than 35 years ago. The driving force: The radical

notion – shared by a core group of engineers at Subaru – that a horizontally-opposed

engine connected to an All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system could provide more grip, control,

safety and sheer driving pleasure on virtually any road in any weather. The decision then

came to test this revolutionary thinking in the toughest arena known to man or machine,

the FIA World Rally Championship. Wins followed, then championships. More importantly,

though, technological refinements made their way directly from the rally car to the

Subaru passenger vehicle lineup. These refinements, to this very day, continue to make a

Subaru, a Subaru – one of the safest, most capable and most enjoyable vehicles on the road.

Technology for technology’s sake is hardly the most direct route from A to B, where

B = sheer driving pleasure. On the other hand, the advanced thinking behind the Subaru

symmetrical full-time All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system was honed in FIA World Rally

Championship (WRC) competition for three clear-cut reasons: To prove it was the best

AWD system in the world, to give every Subaru driver the control and confidence to

tackle any driving challenge, and to create exhilarating dynamic handling. The SUBARU

BOXER engine, in its own right, has enjoyed a similar baptism by fire. Fine-tuned on

the toughest rally stages in existence – from the snow-covered roads of Sweden to the

gravel paths of Corsica – this smooth operator gives the entire line of Subaru vehicles a

performance heritage that few can approach.

Built for your driving pleasure.It’s what makes a Subaru, a Subaru.

Page 10: LEGACY 2008 - Subaru · 2016-06-13 · LEGACY 2008. The pleasure of driving. It's what makes a Subaru, ... engine connected to an All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system could provide more grip,

The horizontally-opposed engine, also known as the boxer, is so named

because its pistons move like a prize-fighter, alternately throwing left and

right punches along a horizontal plane. The motion of the left bank of pistons

counteracts that of the right, thereby balancing each other out and reducing

engine vibration. With respect to the SUBARU BOXER, this intrinsically smooth

design is also more compact and sits low in the engine compartment. Net

benefits: seamless power delivery and a lower centre of gravity, which help the

AWD and 4-wheel independent suspension systems operate at peak efficiency.

To further enhance durability, handling and directional stability, every engine

is constructed of lightweight, high-strength aluminum.

Strike a balance, get a grip, take control. For the past 35 years, this has

been the core philosophy behind the development of every Subaru vehicle.

In that time, our engineers have perfected a combination unique to the

industry: the SUBARU BOXER engine and the linear drivetrain layout known

as the Subaru symmetrical full-time All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system. In this

layout, all drivetrain components – the engine, transmission, driveshaft,

and front and rear differentials – are logically aligned close to the centre

point of the vehicle. This gives every Subaru heightened stability and

excellent weight distribution, front to rear and side to side. Why is Subaru

symmetrical full-time AWD a better solution? Simply: balance, grip, control.

Three distinct advantages.

Better balanceWhen cornering, centrifugal force causes a vehicle to lean and how much it leans depends in

part on the vehicle’s centre of gravity. Due to the placement of its compact SUBARU BOXER

engine, all Subaru vehicles have an exceptionally low centre of gravity. This translates into

reduced body roll, along with improved handling and stability, without the need for an overly

stiff suspension. Horizontally-opposed

SUBARU BOXER engineOther engine types

Less vibrationWith its 180-degree, horizontally-opposed configuration, the SUBARU BOXER engine design

cuts vibration dramatically by eliminating the inertia of opposing pistons as found in

V-shaped or in-line configuration engines. The result is excellent responsiveness throughout

the rev range, unprecedented driving comfort, greatly improved vehicle stability and a

quieter cabin.

Greater gripWhen power is delivered through either the front or the rear wheels, lateral forces will

tend to make the vehicle understeer or oversteer while cornering; this, in turn, can lead to

instability. With Subaru’s symmetrical full-time AWD system, however, power is sent through

all four wheels, the vehicle steers naturally and neutrally in the direction of the turn, and

precise, controlled handling is maintained.

Feel empowered.

In all aspects of life, balance is important. The same

holds true of the car you drive. You want something

that’s fuel efficient and environmentally-friendly. Yet

is ready to perform when you feel the urge to drive

just for the sake of driving. The 2008 Subaru Legacy,

powered by your choice of two potent and efficient

SUBARU BOXER engines, is just such a car. (Merge into

the fast lane and leave compromise in the dust.)

Next-generation engine technologies

i-Active Valve Lift System: The 2.5-litre SUBARU BOXER

engine, powering the Legacy 2.5i, features Subaru's i-Active

Valve Lift System, which adjusts the rocker arms at high

revs to allow for greater air intake, leaving the exhaust

valve unaffected. This advanced technology delivers

impressive fuel efficiency, smooth idle and lower emissions.

It also delivers increased power at higher revs to sharpen

acceleration when passing or merging onto highways.

Active Valve Control System: The engine in the Subaru Legacy

2.5GT and 2.5GT spec.B incorporates an Active Valve Control

System that varies the timing of the intake valves under idle,

leisurely driving conditions or hard acceleration. This system,

precisely controlled by the engine management computer,

ensures that peak performance, impressive fuel economy and

lower emissions are achieved at all times.

SI-DRIVE (Subaru Intelligent Drive)

This advanced engine management system, even more refined

for 2008, offers the choice of three drive modes with different

engine characteristics. By switching modes, the driver triggers

changes to the engine management system that then modify the

electronic throttle and turbocharger. For the available 5-speed

electronic direct control automatic transmission, SI-DRIVE also

optimizes shift patterns within each driving mode.

Intelligent Mode (I): delivers smoothness in low-traction

conditions and boosts fuel economy by as much as 10%; it ’s

perfect for driving around town or motoring down the highway.

Sport Mode (S): is for all-around use; it provides linear throttle

response for everyday driving situations and extra engine power

when needed. Sport Sharp Mode (S#): exploits the full potential

of the SUBARU BOXER engine; it delivers instant throttle response

for maximum enjoyment.

SI-DRIVE is available on the Subaru Legacy 2.5GT and 2.5GT spec.B models.

TRANSMISSION

Make the connection.

A transmission is needed for more than just shifting

gears. It ’s another point of contact between you and

the vehicle, another way to control the balance of

the vehicle. In the Subaru Legacy, both the automatic

and manual transmissions mesh perfectly with the

engines and Subaru symmetrical full-time AWD

to generate unprecedented balance, traction and

control in all weather and road conditions.

5-speed and 6-speed Manual Transmissions

The Subaru Legacy 2.5i and 2.5GT feature a 5-speed manual

transmission linked to Subaru symmetrical full-time AWD

through a viscous-coupling limited-slip centre differential.

This transmission boasts a short-stroke feeling for maximum

smoothness and efficiency. In the Legacy 2.5GT spec.B, a

close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission with short-throw

shifter, viscous-coupling limited-slip centre differential

and TORSEN® torque-sensitive limited-slip rear differential

ensures that the power gets to the ground in a hurry.

4-speed and 5-speed Automatic Transmissions

The Subaru Legacy is available with two types of automatic

transmissions: the 4EAT with SPORTSHIFT™ (for the 2.5i)

and the 5EAT with SPORTSHIFT™ (for the 2.5GT), which also

incorporates Variable Torque Distribution for sportier driving

dynamics. Both transmissions give drivers control over three

separate drive modes – Normal, Sport* and SPORTSHIFT™ –

configured for everything from optimum fuel efficiency to

optimum use of available engine power. The active torque-

split AWD design responds to driving conditions, the gear

selected and driver inputs by continuously controlling the

torque distribution front to rear. The 5EAT SS is now among

the quickest-shifting transmissions in the business – 0.2

seconds from one gear to the next – and can be controlled

by the steering wheel column mounted paddle shifters.

The 5EAT SS also features blipping control to match engine

speeds on downshifts when using SPORTSHIFT™.

From 0 to 100 smiles/hour.

Driving pleasure is more than just being pushed back

in your seat when the light turns green. It ’s that

feeling you get when you turn the steering wheel and

the car responds quickly and nimbly. It ’s the sheer

joy of carving through a turn. And the confidence of

knowing you’re in control, regardless of the road or

weather conditions. The 2008 Subaru Legacy: Fun is

just around the corner.

Rally-proven suspension

What effect do rough roads, rain, ice, sleet or snow have

when confronted with a long-travel, 4-wheel independent

suspension system honed on the grueling World Rally

Championship circuit? Answer: Not much at all. The Subaru

Legacy features a fully-independent suspension system that

smoothes out the imperfections, places a vice-like grip on

the corners and manages it all effortlessly.

Lightweight components, heavyweight impact

To maximize the power-to-weight ratio and efficiency of

the SUBARU BOXER engine, the Subaru Legacy features a

lightweight hood and numerous aluminum components.

These weight-saving elements contribute to the creation

of a faster, stronger and more fuel efficient vehicle. They

also set the stage for a low centre of gravity that enables

the suspension system to generate stratospheric levels of

dynamic handling.

SAFETY

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)

All Subaru Legacy models feature an anti-lock braking system

with 4 sensors and 4 channels modulating brake pressure

to each wheel instantaneously. The sheer stopping force

generated by front brakes with dual-piston calipers. The

added brake cooling created by ventilated front discs (and

ventilated rear discs on the 2.5GT and 2.5GT spec.B). And the

increased efficacy of Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD)

to ensure optimal brake performance regardless of passenger

and cargo load. All adding up to a superior braking system

that leaves nothing to chance. Full stop.

Vehicle Dynamics Control

Even when driving a vehicle with Subaru symmetrical full-

time AWD, the laws of physics still apply and the level of

available grip can be exceeded. In these rare times, it ’s

comforting to know that Vehicle Dynamics Control‡ is

standing guard. This system employs a network of sensors

to detect when a loss of control is imminent, then makes

precise adjustments – altering AWD torque split, applying

brake pressure to individual wheels and revising engine

power output – to restore vehicle stability. Vehicle Dynamics

Control is standard on select Legacy Sedans – the 2.5i (Limited

Package), 2.5GT (5EAT SS) and 2.5GT spec.B.

‡Subaru's Vehicle Dynamics Control system may also be referred to as Electronic Stability Control.

Advanced ring-shaped reinforcement frame

The goal: A 360-degree barrier of protection. The response:

One uniform, interconnected energy-absorbing safety cell

comprised of the roof, door pillars, window pillars and floor.

This cell envelops the entire passenger cabin, thereby helping

to dissipate impact energy from all directions. The advanced

ring-shaped reinforcement frame, energy-absorbing crumple

zones and side-impact door beams combine to give the Subaru

Legacy award-winning collision safety for all occupants.

Seatbelts, airbags and head restraints

Dual front airbags with dual-stage inflation and built-in

occupant sensors. Dual front side-impact airbags. Dual side

curtain airbags. Front seatbelts with pretensioners and load

limiters. The ISO-FIX/LATCH child seat anchor system and

three-point seatbelts for the rear seats. And active front-

seat head restraints that automatically reduce the distance

between the passenger and the head restraint in the event

of a rear-end collision. All standard, all designed to offer

superior occupant protection.

Ratings of “Good” are the highest rating awarded for 40-mph frontal offset, 31-mph side-impact and 20-mph rear-impact crash tests conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and applies to all 2007 Subaru Legacy models. A “Good” rating obtained in all three crash tests and the availability of Electronic Stability Control (ESC) achieves a 'Top Safety Pick', which was awarded to the 2007 Subaru Legacy 2.5GT spec.B. †U.S. Government star crash test ratings are part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA’s) New Car Assessment Program (www.safercar.gov). A five-star crash test rating is the highest government rating for a) Driver and right front seating positions in frontal crash tests and b) Front and rear seating positions in side-impact crash tests.

Safe and sound engineering.

Built into each and every Subaru vehicle is the steadfast

belief that occupant safety is of paramount importance.

Active safety systems give the driver all the tools

needed to avoid an accident at all costs.

For example, better visibility enables the driver to see

potential problems before they happen, while Subaru

symmetrical full-time AWD offers increased control to

help avoid these problems. Passive safety systems give

all passengers the very best in protection in the event

that an accident is unavoidable. The Subaru ring-shaped

reinforcement frame, active front-seat head restraints

and six airbags have all helped earn the Subaru Legacy a

Top Safety Pick* and 5-star crash test safety rating†.

The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS airbags) affords the driver and passenger additional protection in some collisions. This system provides supplemental protection only, and seatbelts must be worn in order to avoid injuries to out-of-position occupants upon airbag deployment. The combination of SRS and seatbelts provides the best protection in a serious accident.
